Michael Polky wrestles with his two brothers every day, but his mother said what happened on board a First Student bus was more than just horseplay.

"And the kid is big, almost 5 feet tall. So, it's not like it was a fair fight. It wasn't a fight. It was an assault," Jessica Polky told Channel 4 Action News.

Action News' Jim Parsons reported that there was a surveillance camera on the bus.

First Student wouldn't let Channel 4 Action News see the video, but Polky, who did watch the video, told Parsons what she saw happen to her son, a second-grader, at the hands of a fourth-grader.

"He grabbed him, threw him back in the seat. Had him bent backward and just repeatedly kneed him in the stomach -- over and over and over again, punching him in the face. Punching him in the head, and then he actually picked him up and tossed him across the seat to the other side of the bus," said Polky.

Polky said the attack lasted for 4 1/2 minutes.

"And no one stopped to help him. The bus driver went through one, two, three, four stop signs. He could have put his lights on to help him and he never did," said Polky.

First Student told Parsons the driver claimed he didn't notice a fight going on behind him, but officials for Pittsburgh Public Schools confirmed the videotape does show clear evidence of the fourth-grader repeatedly beating Michael Polky.

Michael Polky said his abdomen is still sore and he gets nauseated when he eats.

"I was just getting hurt, and I wasn't doing anything to the kid," he said.

The boy said he's afraid to go back to Westwood Elementary School because of what might happen.

And now, Michael says he's afraid to go back to Westwood Elementary school.

"I'm worried he might attack me the next time he gets on the bus," he said.

Parsons reported the fourth-grader was suspending from riding the bus for one week, but not from school.

First Student said the school bus driver has been reassigned to another route at the request of school officials.

The company did not have a response when asked why it doesn't have monitors on school buses.
